Projects assurance

Focusing on project approach, delivery and alignment with strategy, we help a broad spectrum of clients reduce the risk of project failure and increase business value.

We provide independent quality assurance through the entire life-cycle of change from project identification through sourcing to final delivery.

Potential issues

• Are you doing the right projects?
• Are they prioritised correctly?
• Will your projects deliver the business case?

The majority of companies have projects which are either not aligned to the business strategy or actually conflict with others. Consequently most fail to deliver against all objectives and on average a quarter fail completely.
Projects that are poorly aligned to strategic objectives or fail are costly and impact an organisation’s reputation and competitive advantage.

How we can support you

Our pragmatic approach allows us to work with clients to ensure they achieve the right outcomes from their projects and change programmes. We have experience across a broad range of projects and sectors, from capital intensive construction to business change and IT as well as access to the firm’s global network of specialists.

Our projects assurance services include

• Project alignment– ensure projects support the business strategy. For example we helped a UK construction company define its IT strategy and implement the IT change roadmap
• Business case assurance – review whether the business case will deliver the desired results. For example, we helped a telecoms company review the costs and projected benefits of its finance consolidation programme
• Project quality assurance – monitor the project to ensure it is delivering the business requirements. For example, we provide inderpendent review and support of the end to end business transformation for an international manufacturing company
• Project management and process assurance – assess the project management process. For example, we helped a financial services company determine where it stood n a project management maturity model and what its priorities and next steps should be to move to a level appropriate for their business.
